Paper's great for some things, but when it comes to reading and taking notes, the traditional medium is mediocre at best. And when iPad apps try to LiquidText is one of the great iPad apps shown off in Apple's latest crop of ads. We talk to its creator about its journey to get here.

Apple's cheapest iPad is the 32GB Wi-Fi-only version, and that is priced at $329. The Surface Go priced at $399 seems to offer more given that it comes with 64GB of storage, but it's important to bear in mind that consumer model runs Windows 10 Home in S Mode, and those wanting full Windows 10 will either need to upgrade the operating system or buy the commercial version.

Speaking of Microsoft 365, Microsoft isn't just targeting schools, especially third- through sixth-grade users, with these devices. Retail, banking, manufacturing and other vertical businesses are all on Microsoft's radar with Surface Go. The firsline/frontline workers there likely need custom Win32 apps on their devices, and emulation on a Pentium processor would likely be a less-than-optimal experience. That is likely one reason the Surface Go is Intel-, not ARM-based for now, anyway.

To be fair, Elon got on a plane to Thailand with his mini sub in like 24 hours. That was when the “experts” were still predicting the rescue could take MONTHS.
I applaud that he cared enough to go help and offer real ideas to help save lives during an urgent crisis.

According to our source, after many months of planning, Apple plans to deploy 1Password internally to all 123,000 employees. This includes not just employees in Cupertino, but extends all the way to retail, too. Furthermore, the company is said to have carved out a deal that includes family plans, giving up to 5 family members of each employee a free license for 1Password. With more and more emphasis on security in general, and especially at Apple, there are a number of reasons this deal makes sense. We’re told that 100 Apple employees will start using 1Password through this initiative starting this week, with the full 123,000+ users expected to be activated within the next one to two months.

Smart downloads are one-for-one. So if you binged three episodes during a long plane ride, the app will delete all three and queue up the next three episodes for you. And smart downloads will progress into the next season of a series. So if you finish watching a season finale on your commute into work, you can connect to your office Wi-Fi and the next season's premiere will be waiting for you on your ride home.

While some of Google Pay’s functionality (like the new Passes Tab) is limited to Android, Capiel said the goal is to support users on any platform. So you can also access Google Pay on the web and on an iOS app. Now Google says it’s making it easier to manage all your payment information across platforms, allowing users (for example) to update their payment info on the web and see it reflected in their app.

Once, you've decided to update your system, you need to make a backup. Linux Mint 18.3 comes with an excellent, easy-to-use backup tool: Use it. Once done, make sure that backup can be restored. Yes, this will take a while, but you don't want to lose your data, do you? It's better to be safe than sorry.

Likewise, for the second study, data was collected for eight weeks, and then again for eight more weeks, two months after the employees had moved to a new open plan office. Due to differences in how the second study was measured (taking into account gender, team assignment, role, and desk location,) the calculations were slightly different, though the results largely identical. The employees tracked in this study interacted between 67% and 71% less than before, with emails increasing between 22% and 50%. The researchers noted that dyads—conversational pairs—in the same team or role communicated more in face-to-face interactions and email compared to dyads on different teams or roles. Interestingly, short physical distance increased, slightly, the amount of face-to-face interaction, but not email. No significant change was measured in interaction by gender.

Apple will drop the iPhone X and iPhone SE from its list of available products this year, a new report claims. The reason? To help push a super cycle for the next-gen iPhone handsets that Apple supposedly believes will be, “far larger than normal cycles.”

That’s the issue though. The pixel has amazing camera but when you do snap story or ig story, it does not actuall use the camera. It’s only for stories. The fault lies on the app developer being lazy. I almost got a pixel 2 instead of note 8 but I hate the two tone back on pixel

"The growth of industrial robots continues at an impressive pace worldwide," says Junji Tsuda, President of the International Federation of Robotics. "Key trends such as digitalisation, simplification and human-robot collaboration will certainly shape the future and drive forward rapid development."

Some would say that it is a long way from software engineering to journalism, others would correctly argue that it is a mere 10 metres according to the floor plan.During his first five years with CBS Interactive, Chris started his journalistic adventure in 2006 as the Editor of Builder AU after originally joining the company as a programmer.Leaving CBS Interactive in 2010 to follow his deep desire to study the snowdrifts and culinary delights of Canada, Chris based himself in Vancouver and paid for his new snowboarding and poutine cravings as a programmer for a lifestyle gaming startup.Chris returns to CBS in 2011 as the Editor of TechRepublic Australia determined to meld together his programming and journalistic tendencies once and for all.In his free time, Chris is often seen yelling at different operating systems for their own unique failures, avoiding the dreaded tech support calls from relatives, and conducting extensive studies of internets — he claims he once read an entire one.

The game’s system requirements were also confirmed by the Steam listing, with the minimum PC spec insisting on at least an Intel Core i5-4460 or AMD FX-6300 processor, backed with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 or AMD Radeon R7 260X (with 2GB of video RAM) on the GPU front. You’ll also need 8GB of system memory, and 20GB of drive space.

"The probability of project success is low," Portell says. As someone who has worked on the European Space Agency's Gaia mission, he knows Sónar Calling GJ273b's success depends on a number of unverified assumptions, such as the planet's inhabitants actually existing and then being sufficiently tech-savvy to decode the data and understand the concept of music.

We first heard about Tesla attempting to build a factory in China a year ago, but it now looks as though the deal has finally been done and Tesla's capacity is set to soar once this facility is operational.

The new budget tablet has a thickness of just 8.3 millimeters and weighs 520 grams. The 10-inch Surface Go is geared to compete with Apple's cheaper iPads, so Microsoft is clearly chasing the same student audience as Apple.

The book takes you from the early games through to the very end of the tournament, illustrating at every turn how integral soccer is to many of its fans’ identities as they experience the ups and downs of the game. That’s reflected in the singular nature of each book: Each of the 400 copies has a different combination of eight stickers on its cover that highlight different fans. The stickers look like traditional World Cup Panini stickers , each of which has a portrait of the World Cup’s biggest stars–but Stockdale’s version, designed by Patrick Fry , feature portraits of fans instead. “Instead of showing the players as expected, we are championing the fans, the real stars of the tournament,” Fry says.

After a breaking news event, it takes time to verify, produce and publish high-quality videos. Journalists often write articles first to break the news rather than produce videos. That’s why in the coming weeks in the U.S. we will start providing a short preview of news articles in search results on YouTube that link to the full article during the initial hours of a major news event, along with a reminder that breaking and developing news can rapidly change.

It may be Samsung is just patenting this to cover all its options here, but this does add some evidence to the theory that it will be called the Galaxy Watch. The biggest question will be whether Samsung is using this new name to signify a change from Tizen software to Wear OS .

After announcing plans to ship cars running Android and work with Nvidia to build automotive AI systems, Audi today put in place the latest piece of its self-driving car puzzle. The German carmaker has signed a memorandum of understanding with Huawei — the world’s third-largest smartphone maker after Samsung and Apple — to develop intelligent car technology, specifically in the areas of autonomous driving and services that use a new cellular standard, LTE-V, designed specifically for vehicles.

CompTIA analyzed job growth in four key areas of the IT employment sector. Three categories led the market for the month of June: IT services, custom software development and computer system design added 6,000 jobs; computer, electronics and semiconductor manufacturing increased by 5,100 jobs; and data processing, hosting and related services grew by 1,100 jobs, said the report.

Containers are bringing Java developers closer than ever to a "write once, run anywhere" workflow, but containerizing a Java application is no simple task: You have to write a Dockerfile, run a Docker daemon as root, wait for builds to complete, and finally push the image to a remote registry. Not all Java developers are container experts; what happened to just building a JAR?
To address this challenge, we're excited to announce Jib , an open-source Java containerizer from Google that lets Java developers build containers using the Java tools they know. Jib is a fast and simple container image builder that handles all the steps of packaging your application into a container image. It does not require you to write a Dockerfile or have docker installed, and it is directly integrated into Maven and Gradle —just add the plugin to your build and you'll have your Java application containerized in no time.

How Jib makes development better:
Jib takes advantage of layering in Docker images and integrates with your build system to optimize Java container image builds in the following ways:
Simple - Jib is implemented in Java and runs as part of your Maven or Gradle build.

[N]o Supreme Court decision supports the counterintuitive notion that the First Amendment entitles an ISP to engage in the kind of conduct barred by the net neutrality rule—i.e., to hold itself out to potential customers as offering them an unfiltered pathway to any web content of their own choosing, but then, once they have subscribed, to turn around and limit their access to certain web content based on the ISP's own commercial preferences.
